Chapter 15: Tell Them, I Dare You
[TAMIKO]
"I already said my peace, now leave me be, or I will let the whole pack know that you're mated to the pack slave, and that really won't sit well with you and your reputation, given how powerful you are, and how weak I am," Tamiko threatened with a laugh and Gabe smirked at him.
"Should I do that for you?" Gabe asked, his voice sincere as he looked at Tamiko.
At first, the broken Lycan thought that the alpha's son was at his antics again, but then the more he looked at Gabe, the more he realized that this bastard was really serious about telling everyone that they were mated.
And that made Tamiko question himself again. He had suffered so much at the hands of the man in front of him. For several years, he had endured everything that Gabe and his minions had done to him.
Like a loyal slave, he had been there, their object of ire, even when he had done nothing. They had made him feel like his entire existence was a pathetic excuse that the universe had decided to dangle in front of them like some unwanted creature.
Tamiko had no one, not even a person who could comfort him and tell him things would be alright. Granted, Danny was always trying his very best to be there for him, but at the end of the day, they were weak against the leaders of the pack and their devil children.
Maybe this was a chance for Tamiko, but was it something he wanted? Despite having wished to have someone in the past, Tamiko wasn't thrilled at the idea of having Gabe, of all the creatures of the night, as his mate.
"Go on," Tamiko said daringly, his eyes cold and he stared at Gabe like he knew something the man didn't know. Of course, he knew. He was a lycan and could do so much with his abilities right now.
Over the years, Tamiko had learned that he was different from the wolves and he had made use of the one place he hadn't been denied access to.
